Hmm… not sure I would agree with that unless it's small suckers (10" or under) with a single treble. The worst possible place to hook a fish is in the roof of the mouth, seems like they come undone 75% of the time.
I'm more interested in the rig he was using and why it didn't break free. Were any of the hook points stuck into the sucker when she let it go?
I rarely have suckers bigger then 12 inches. Most of the time only 10. And normally one treble. I prefer to solder a small gold aberdeen hook to a 5/0 treble then tee the treble. Those smaller aberdeen hooks pull right out. Its a real simple rig and works great. I was getting at the same thing . need to get that treble hook free from the sucker.
